May 14, 2020 | 5:00 PM

KAMLOOPS — Three suspects are in custody after a run from the Kamloops RCMP Thursday (May 14).

According to a news release from Staff Sergeant Mathias Van Laer, police were informed that the three were absent without permission from the Vision Quest Recovery Society in Logan Lake.

When police checked on a tip that they had rented a hotel room on Columbia Street, the three made off through a window and into a cab.

The cab company told RCMP it had dropped the three off on Kitchener Crescent near the Overlanders Beach, and that’s where officers arrested two of the three men.

Later this afternoon, officers caught up with the third suspect in the same area.
